⬇️⬇️The setback⬇️⬇️

So Friday morning the salon is booming, me and Sarah are in good spirits, having a laugh and looking after are clients as we always do. I come out of treatment around 12.30pm and check my phone and I automatically know something’s gone wrong from all the messages and missed calls on my phone. I manage to make my way through social media and try to piece together the unbelievable news of what boris has done to us!!

You see the next day and for the next 2 weeks after that me and Sarah were absolutely packed with clients and here he is telling us with only a few hours notice before we close that we are going to have to cancel 80% of our clients?!! To say we were gutted is an understatement, did we have a cry?! Yes I’ll be honest we both did, we feel our industry has been kicked to the gutter and no one really cares about us. I understand we need local lockdowns etc to look after everyone but the 4hrs notice is just unacceptable for our business or any other beauty business!

We are full of PPE visors, aprons, gloves, masks etc so we see absolutely zero reasons why we can’t work on the face! The whole salon is cleaned and disinfected to an inch of its life! We are loosing money already by having to book out an extra 15mins between each client to sanitise and now we can’t do our clients again!!!

So to boris please sort this rubbish out, if pubs can stay open with zero PPE we should be aloud to trade with all ours! We aren’t asking for any money, all we want is the opportunity to work again!

And to anyone reading this, please think about all the beauty salons that you know and think of all the times the therapist stayed back for you after hours, or fitted you in when she had no gaps, or let you have that special offer even tho you booked the wrong day, or gave you a gift voucher for your local raffle, they now need a favour from you…….. they need your support, we need your support, please go and book a treatment that you maybe wouldn’t of had before, or if the business isn’t open yet see if they are selling gift vouchers or maybe buy some retail products!
